The Silent Season

Colorado Trail Days brings the whole town together. Someone in the crowd has been hiding in plain sight for twenty-six years.

The annual celebration has transformed Elk Creek into a carnival - food vendors, parade floats, and thousands of hikers who've made their way through these mountains all summer. Gemma is working the SAR booth with Kira at her feet when the case cracks open: new evidence places Warren Haskell at the scene the night Brianna Hartley vanished, and for the first time, there's enough to push.

But Warren Haskell is not the kind of man who falls easily. He built this town. His name is on the library, the community center, the charitable foundation. Half of Elk Creek has eaten at his table. Marco and Gemma are about to discover what it means to pursue a man who has spent twenty-six years making himself indispensable - and who is ready for every question they ask.

Woven through the investigation: a missing woman whose disappearance from peak hiking season looks like an accident - until Kira finds something that says otherwise.

The reckoning is coming. But the most dangerous moment isn't the accusation. It's when a guilty man understands that the walls are closing in and has nothing left to protect.

Perfect for fans of Margaret Mizushima, Kendra Elliot, and Paige Shelton. The Silent Season delivers the resolution readers have been waiting for - and sets up an explosive conclusion still to come.
